"Kousen Breien voor Melaatsen" (Knitting Socks for Lepers) is as far as we can reconstruct the third release of Kwajongens in Bloei (Urchins in Bloom). The first one was "In Wording", the second one "De Mars der Kwaadaardige Gezwellen". It was a co-release with "Finger in the Dyke" Records from Holland.
The tape has 5 tracks on each side, the cover doesn't list any titles, it was released in march 1982.
Kwajongens in Bloei was an idea of Erik Van Woensel, a multi-instrumentalist. Other members were Wim Ceuppens, Erik Vloeberghs aka "Angst" and Luc Van Den Bruel aka "E.Coli".
They played live on some rare occasions, the first time was on a free-podium in Hallaar. Nihilistic texts were read onto synth drones and rhythms, within minutes the complete audience apart from some drunken sods had left and after 8 minutes the PA was shut down by the angry owner of the venue. KIB played on for another fifteen minutes on their own amplifiers. This concert was released on their second cassette.
To our knowledge only 3 cassettes were released, and in december 1982 an epitaph was published in Vloeberghs' "9.999.999 Miljoen Erotische Variaties":
Yes "it's true, KIB is no more".
You remember probably that what was supposed to be the farewell concert (in Wiekevorst) of KIB eventually didn't happen because Big Danny still happened to be in E.Coli's arse. Yes, we admit that we have willingly indulged in all trends and picked up success wherever we could grab it. We also admit that we wanted too much success in a too short span of time, and apart from that: things didn't go that well among the individual band members. Luc (E.Coli) wanted to go more into disco, he wanted people would jump around dancing onto our music, you know what I mean. Vloeberghs wanted to make covers of American Top bands like KISS, Boston, ELO, Asia, Kansas, Styx etc. Erik Van Woensel on the contrary was not allowed any longer from his mother to get involved with music after troubles with the youth brigade. We admit: at the top of our career, drugs, alcohol and boys were warp and woof in KIB. Especially the singer frumped from one to the other. "As long as it can strip down its pants it's allright for them" told Myriam about us. The result of course a whole list of venereal diseases. You will understand that KIB could not go on longer like this, the lovers went from one hand to the next and the money was spent in a record on heroin and doctors. IF we even played (because not every organiser had enough money to organise a concert with us), we had to perform while swimming because everywhere where we came the male semen was up to our chin, that's how made the fans were about us then.
We have heard in the meantime that E.Coli now has a relationship with the guitar player from "The Machines" and that the singer is with Will Ferdy. But how long this will last is another question. We have also heard that Jan Van Woensel has sworn off macrobiotics and is now wasting his fortune in gambling casino's. And there is a rumour that E.Coli is doing the streets in Leuven to earn his money.
Anyway, the Kwajongens are dead. This means that bands such as Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Virgin Prunes, 23 Skidoo, Whitehouse, Come, Einstürzende Neubauten, Club Moral, Nocturnal Emissions and Killing Joke, whom as we know have stolen their whole repertoire from KIB, will have to find their inspiration elsewhere. The future will learn what the future will be. All there is is awaiting.
Kwajongens in Bloei played live in Club Moral on 8 may 1982.
Erik Vloeberghs continues to work as a civil servant for the Belgian National Institute of Statistics. E.Coli published 2 more cassettes "Wo sind die Blümenkinder geblieben?" and "Die Traurigkeit, die toten kann", and is now a successful businessman. We don't know about the whereabouts of the other Kwajongens in Bloei.
